QueenSlick wrote:In my summing up of this relationship and having read two books about JA. I think Marty protests too much about not sleeping with Grace. His comments about her wanting him all along was classic. Did it ever occur to Marty that maybe Grace didn't want him? He really comes across as a bitter, whiny brat in the Got A Revolution book and his venom for Grace is nothing but pure jealousy. It's almost like it kills him to say anything good about her.

As for his assumption that Grace wanted him all along over anyone in the band... I don't buy it.

I think if Grace really wanted Marty, she would have had him rapidoooooooo:):) .......there is NO man alive who can resist the temptations of a woman esp of such a beautiful woman as Grace :):)

Nice picture. So Marty was mental not to fancy her? I'm talking through my hat here because I've never met her, but that legendary "Grace Slick" kind of personality wouldn't appeal to everyone. It appeals to me because I'm not much like her, but it would be a pain having to live with someone who says and does just exactly what they like all the time.

''it would be a pain having to live with someone who says and does just exactly what they like all the time"(true, true) I wonder why does it sound familiar to me ?I must have heard it somewhere before.

Et tu, Sue ?(kidding )

I found it really interesting when Marty mentions in one of his videos that he wasn't initially going to be part of the '89 Airplane reunion but Grace refused to be involved unless he was a part of it.

That's because Grace knew Marty's talent.....could you picture JA without Marty in it???!:):):):)

Icompletely agree with a previous poster...Marty completely comes across as a major "whiner" in the "Revolution" book...Huge ego and yes, extremely jealous of Grace. Interestingly, I have never read anything to compare, coming from Grace. Yes, as all the fans know, she is not big on love ballads, ect, but she completely supports the democratic process that the Airplane had. I always found it VERY annoying the way that Marty would obnoxously try to out sing Grace in some of their recorded concerts of the late sixties. He would literally try to drown her out with his vocal excess. He had his due in the J.S years and should be more gracious in his reflections of the past. It is a fact, that Grace Slick did , put the Airplane on the national map with her two signature tunes and this was clearly too much for Marty's ego.
